New meaning of philanthrocapitalism

In the meantime, however, and with all due credit to my friend Tim Ogden, this Don Asmussencartoon reminded me of the "other" definition for philanthrocapitalism that has been making the rounds as stocks fall, credit freezes, and banks fail or get bought out:

Philanthrocapitalism: Noun. 1) Using business principles in one's philanthropic activities. Alternative, 2) Using public money to bail out rich capitalists.

About me

Why is this blog called Philanthropy 2173?

This is a blog about the future. The year 2173 seems sufficiently far enough in the future to give us some perspective. As sure as we are of ourselves now, talking about the future - and making philanthropic investments - requires that we keep a sense of modesty and humor about what we are doing. Philanthropy is for the long-term - for the year 2173.
